Every single time I want to publish to PDF in any one of my scripts I get this error: "Loading remote resource not allowed"

This is the error in the command window:

Loading remote resource not allowed. Remote resource: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd

This error happened around the time I copy and pasted code from Sublime. I have engineering finals coming up so I would appreciate any help. Also this is an error for every single script I try to publish to PDF in Matlab online.

EDIT: My work around is not using MATLAB Online. I tried inserting code from IT as a work around and it doesn't work. The IT person told me it is a bug within the online version. I recomend real MATLAB 2024a.

Same problem, noted after migrating to the official R2024a earlier this week.

Suggested workwround by Evin (below) does not work - it generates "Unable to check out a Report Generator license. Reason: MATLAB Report Generator is not installed...."

(The solution to this problem came from somone in tech support)

After some investigation, the error you are seeing is actually caused by a bug within MATLAB. I apologize for any trouble this has caused you. Our development teams are aware of this issue, and they might consider carrying out a fix in one of our future MATLAB releases. If this issue does get fixed, you shall receive an automated notification email by then.

In the meantime, you can use the "mlreportgen.report.MATLABCode" class as a workaround that should allow you to achieve a similar outcome to publishing your scripts to PDF. Below is an example function that demonstrates how to use this class to create a PDF report from your MATLAB code:

function publishWithRptgen(fileName)
    import mlreportgen.report.*
    
    % Get name of file for report
    [~,name,~] = fileparts(fileName);
    
    % Make a report and add a code reporter
    rpt = Report(name,"pdf");
    codeReporter = MATLABCode(fileName);
    append(rpt, codeReporter);
    
   % Close the report
    close(rpt);
end

To use this workaround, you can either include this function in your scripts or create a separate function script. When you wish to publish a script as a PDF, simply call this function in a new file or directly in the MATLAB Command Window, passing the name of the script you wish to publish as an argument:

>> publishWithRptgen("<file_name>")  % Please replace "<file_name>" with the name of your script file.

@Oliver, sorry to hear that, I didnt end up using this work around. I swiched to real MATLAB 2024a (not online) and it works fine, but no dark mode :/
